Tremor

|
The thought that all share the troubles conceived
Is not as comforting as we believe
This truth trembles as I speak of despair
My sorrow does not matter, it's not rare
Cold, dead eyes stare back in subtle regret
But it had to be done so we could forget
In the distance, I hear the tide rising
Slipping into unconsciousness, admiring
Try as I might, I cannot stand
These words will be my last, my friend
(Only to hear the static)

Static
05:00
|
|||
|
Only to hear the static
Feel the pulsation
Breathe in your virtue
It's what I need to sustain my being
An unrequited feeling would sprout
And now, we stay stuck in a drought
Not being able to shout
Our words and strife are drowned out
By the sound
Of silence
Do you hear it?
Do you hear me?
Only to hear the static
And cherish the sting

Advice

|
A thorn in my side
The feelings she can't hide
Appear venting in technicolor
Twenty flickers in the static
Expose mundane habits
Are you my friend or former brother?
Help - such a silly, vague word
When your ailment holds no cure
The pencil is a best friend, unheard,
But pardons your mistakes, unlike her.

Presumption
05:36

|
Fragmented thoughts strung out and wrought
Cerebellum's painting left to rot
Heartbeat's efforts are all to naught
Scaly motherfuckers either catch or caught
This head cold for the too old
Red or black souls dropping two stones
Eat a wishbone, or maybe a vision
Of knights fading back, waiting for your fission
Sticking to a list of the times we're forced
A narrowing path, either smooth or coarse
Morse code tells me not to choose your ticket
But I'm lying down in a pile of thickets
Waiting for a smidgen of life to erupt me
Lost Aphrodite, go ahead and judge thee
Bow to her corpse, "Isn't she so lovely?"
Mystified, they think they're lucky
Auditory allegory
Morphing horror stories into wars, distort these
Lies penetrating their minds, the weaklings
Find a scapegoat that supplies all their needs
And they're swearing peace out of left and right field
Pack a nine mil; maybe then, they'll feel steel
Reeling, stealing, everyone's dealing
Cocaine in her purse, Rogaine makes you feel worse
Is it right to curse?
Fuck it, I don't really care who gets hurt in the hearse
They pre-ordered it
They got four keys to your own storage, bitch
Switch the rich's pitch to ritz without a hitch
Snitch, and get hit with wits worse than Malcolm Smith
(Kids you feel this?) Kiss-of-death lips
Grip acid slips, it's hip to step with

Witness to Victim

|
Ever think of... murder?
Some people confuse my won'ts with wills
Some people don't know they have killed
But I saw them beneath the floorboards
It's my concern whether you will forlorn now
Selecting the remains for the final procedure
Some people confuse my wills with won'ts
Some people try too hard to float
Vexing has brought me reminiscence
That I wish to jilt somehow
You persist on spoon-feeding any lost hope
I never felt obliged
But alas, I can't move
Finally your message just broke through:
"Ignoring signs just shows what they can do"
You have a way of wearing jagged crowns
As you cut their faces to turn into a frown
I never felt obliged
But still, I can't move
I know what you will construe
